The audience at Alicia Keys’s Broadway show got a surprise Tuesday night.
Before the intermission the show suddenly stopped. The lights went up and the stage manager appeared on stage.
Tony winner Maleah Joi Moon, who plays the Alicia Keys character, suffered some kind of injury. The 21 year old was hustled off stage and replaced by a standby.
Maleah was right in the middle of listening to the great Shoshanna Bean, as her mother, sing about when she was pregnant with Maleah’s Ali.
Something went wrong. But the show had to go on.
Nonetheless, Maleah was back for the curtain call looking no worse the wear.
